This Clip Of A Mom Teaching Her Son How To Roast Is Touching And Hilarious
“Boy, if you don’t get your milk carton head...”
Every kid needs to know how to stand up for themselves, which is why it makes total sense that Twitter user @WuzzamSupa expertly taught her son to roast in the video above. She's equipping him with an essential technique for not getting swallowed up in the jungle of K through 12, and her tutorial is a hilarious, informative, and super sweet minute of parental wisdom.
To start, she touches on the value of specificity and economy of words. "You gotta say 'Boy you built like Mark Henry,'" she says, "that's funnier than 'look like.'" Her second pointer is a bit of foundational improvisation: "You really gotta utilize the stuff around you. Let's say you're in a cafeteria, 'Boy if you don't get your milk carton head...'" With those two pieces of advice, her son sets off on a hot streak, and it's clear that beyond his graduation he'll be able to disarm anyone, whether it's a bully or a friend with bad shoes.
